Contests : Wergle Flomp Free Poetry Contest : Past Winners : 2006 : Holly Kreger
UNTITLED ("Drainpipes...")
Drainpipes: angrily grumbling on the edges of fear.
Conniving arrogance pondering on the wit of the beach.
Islands of jealous sadness, lakes of excited bouyancy.
I'd yell with desperation, but I've lost all my waffles.
Cold, nervous: I sigh and start to dry my tears;
In spite of all that gallant slice of bread still cheers me on.
I fight. I lose. I fall.
The embarrassing dishtowels of pain hug my dreams.
All is kitties.
Sent as a joke to Poetry.com, this poem was a finalist in the 2006 Wergle Flomp humor poetry contest sponsored by Winning Writers.
